...to show how creation meets scientific criteria.

What scientific evidence exists to show that all life on earth was created as is, and without any ancestral species that was a predecessor within 6 literal earth days (as we know them) approximately 6 to 10 thousand years ago?

Be advised, that criticism against the evidence for evolution and an ancient earth is NOT evidence for literal creation and a young earth, even if that criticism is valid.

Just give me one argument that isn't a fallacy, illogical, or psuedoscience.

I will respond to each argument, disclosing which fallacy is being commited, if any, or how it is psuedoscience.

Please, read through the other answers before responding to avoid repetitive arguments, because I won't address the same issue twice.

Why is that teaching Children in public schools that they came from primates and single celled blobs, perfectly legal, but God or creationism is not. It is a bit biased to say the least, yet Christians are called the bigots, while radical atheist's and evolutionists never seem to see how they have forced us to be taught these lies.


If God cannot be taught, why is it that evolution can

it is not fair, if anything both should be illegal

Why do we always have to let our preconceived ideas get in the way of seeing something as it really is? Why can't we be more openhanded about ideas? No matter what we believe, be it Christianity, Agnosticism, Islam, Paganism, Buddhism etc. What is is, no matter what we think about it. If I could truly create my own reality, I would be in a time warp, lying in a hammock reading a novel right now. What do you think?

Nat: Everyone says it is pagan customs and we shouldn't do it.
what if it is a carnival at the church where everyone dresses up and we throw bean bags and have a party there.
If it is at the church how could it be wrong?

I have tried but can't speak in "tongues", does that mean I am not a real christian? If it is a gift from the Holy Spirit, how come some people do it and others can't? also why can't people understand it and translate???

I have a friend who thinks he’s a Christian because he’s nice to people and goes to Church every now and again.

Back in December I called him to wish him a Merry Christmas and he told me that God had changed his life and he was “really getting into church and ‘stuff’”. So, I asked him straight out if he was a Christian and he said, “Absolutely!” In my excitement I didn’t question any further.

A few months later, he told my about his trip to see a psychic and how this person taught him how to meditate and how it makes him closer to God. At that, I KNEW something was wrong. So, we started a 1-on-1 Bible study. (I do the teaching.) I’m pretty tough on him and one day, I flat out asked him, “Dude, why do you go to church?” He told me they play the kind of music he likes, he gets to go hang out with like-minded people, hear some encouragement from the Bible and listen to some good music.

Question: How do you witness to a person who is in left-field but thinks he's saved?

I'm not trying to be offensive to anyone, this is a serious question. From my reading of the Old Testament of the Bible, not all Israelites are considered Jews (just the ones from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah). The other ten tribes were still referred to as Israelites. Does this make the other ten tribes Gentiles, or are Gentiles anyone not of Israelite/Jewish descent?

Do you think there's a level of faith people put into science? I get told all the time to question my beliefs as a Christian and not to just blindly follow what my pastor tells me on Sunday (I started out atheist and found God through reason not by going to church). I propose that people put every bit as much faith in science. Their bibles are the textbooks they read in class. They have full trust in experiments they didn't perform themselves nor even know the people who did them. In addition science is not objective. It is very much subjective. One only needs to look at the global warming debate to see that. In the end if someone wants to beleive something they will find reason to believe it. So wheter you don't beleive in God or you do. I think it comes down to what you ultimately want to believe. What do you think?

I'm wondering if anyone can give me the reference in the Bible where Jesus saves the prostitute from being stoned to death, telling the men that whoever of them was without sin to throw the first stone. Jesus then tells the woman to go and sin no more. If anyone could give me the reference, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Even though I was on the circuit and spoke in many churches, I am Bible taught, not church taught. There are many simple church traditions I am not aware of. ( why is it that when you write about God, you do it this way G-d?) Is there any scripture for this or are you told in your denomination. My question is not criticism , I really don't know the origin of this. Please respond

WE need to confess them and leave them. My sins are..stealing, fornication, lying, idolatry, drunkenness, smoking, presumptuousness, spiritism, jealousy, fits of anger, cussing, unforigveness, pornoghaphy, divisions, relying on myself, haughtiness greediness, having a double heart, loose conduct..He that is confessing them and leaving them will be shown mercy.

Paul brings back much of the old Judaic law in many cases. He classifies sin where Jesus said Judge not. I actually think Paul is heretical in some cases. What do you think?

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen
-Jesus

Peace and Love

I mean, their tounge could flap around and not make any sense, just like everyone else in the tounge-wagging community, right? Just because it doesn't make a sound for man to hear, doesn't mean they can't perticipate right? Or would it make more sense if they made strange and uninterpretable hand signs, because they normally use sign language? Just curious.

Getting people to think about other possibilities IS a way of changing their beliefs.

i don't think this is true, personally i have learned about creation and evolution. but i still have the ability to make my choice, i believe in evolution. just because you think about something does that really mean you have to change what you believe?

With spirituality i don't mean religion although i understand that religions are suppose to be spiritual.

With spirituality i mean a life perceived as higher, more complex or more integrated with one's worldview, as contrasted with the merely sensual.
